Growing in popularity, the HTI+ exam is fully endorsed by the IHA (Internet Home Assoc) which consists of over 30 companies and organizations such GM, Sears, Panasonic, Best Buy, Cisco, and HP. Major Retailers including Best Buy, Sears, and CompUSA (2,800 professionally trained technicians) have implemented internet home departments with thousands of technicians that will be seeking vendor neutral certification. Existing certifications such as CEDIA's (Custom Design and Installation Association) Installer I/II and Designer I focus more on the builder trades and home entertainment than the computer and internet integration. Cisco Learning Institutes will be offering a course that maps to the HTI+ exam. Falling into the In Depth series, this book effectively prepares aspiring home technology integrators for this burgeoning certification.
